The Walk Hard of true crime.
Robert DanielsJan 30, 2025more interesting as an analysis, and arguable undoing, of rote true crime conventions than a compelling addition to the narrative around its titular subject -- but, that's also the point

Had heard some buzz about The Zodiac Killer Project, but wasn't exactly counting down the days to watch Shackleton walk us through the ghost of the movie he didn’t get to make. And yet—it kind of rules. What initially feels like a director’s commentary on a film that never…
Kevflix And ChillJan 28, 2025Clever but sometimes too self-aware of it… For how funny it is, it can also lull quite a bit (maybe the visual true crime tropes exist for a reason…). Not getting the rights probably did this movie a favor.

Zodiac Killer Project is a wicked embodiment of Marshall McLuhan’s notion of the media itself being the message.

For Zodiac Killer Project to work, it would have to be coming from a filmmaker who is fully ready to admit their own culpability in continuing to fuel the worst aspects of the genre they intended to exploit. That kind of brutal self-admission would have taken a great deal of courage, but Shackleton can’t quite get there, even if he comes close at times.
